Oh I see what you mean now! I'm not going to have pre-stamped steel, but I might bead roll it a little if I feel like it. BTW, doesen't it make the metal stonger? If I just weld it will it be strong enough?

Don't know....

What about using fibreglass? No corrosion and lighter?

I might do carbon or fiberglass, it's what I originaly planned, but I don't know for sure right now. I'm thinking time and money here as well.

We'll just have to see.

Yes the motive makes the metal stronger.. with this motive there's less flex in the metal..
And if you weld it it will be strong enough.. (or there must be welded verry bad)

Hey thanks man!!!

I didn't know that before. I still might do glass or carbon. I'm a ways off from doing this so I have time to make up my mind
